A 20-year-old man convicted of the murder of four people in a South Los Angeles home has been sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole.
Cedric Scott was convicted of four counts of first-degree murder for the April 30, 1984, slayings of Rebecca Hood, 45; her son Derrick, 20; her common-law husband, Travis Clark, 49, and a family friend, Larry Simmons, 37.
Scott was one of three people charged in the killings. His brother, Albert Egger Scott, 21, was acquitted in a separate trial last month, and a third defendant, William James Butler, was also found not guilty.
